The natural world has such pleasures if you take a moment to look for it. This image is one that I didn't plan, it just sort of happened when I was looking around the house for something to photograph.

Bonsai - Tiny but beautiful

This one was taken at 1/200 sec at f6.3 and ISO64, I had a black backdrop draped over a chair and used a softbox flash to gain an even light.

Hungry for flies

Another of my finds around the house was this Venus Flytrap. These are such interesting plants and other than Audrey II from the Little Shop of Horrors, the only carnivorous plant that I know of.

Spikey!

The last one in this collection, this should be called the windowsill collection as all of these are from my son's bedroom windowsill. 

Taken at 1/320 sec at f22 and ISO64, I had a white backdrop draped over a chair with flash on both the backdrop and a softbox flash in front.
